Coraline wins BSFA award. Author glows.

Just before stumbling to bed after a 17 hour drive home (with Holly, who decided not to get off at the airport and fly home, and just ride along and be company, as my co-driver) I checked my e-mail and got the news about the BSFA awards Coraline won for best short fiction -- and was thrilled. Locus Online: News Log, April 2003, p6 is the news, Chris Bell accepted the award on my behalf and tells me it's beautiful. So that was a fine Easter.

House is still standing, despite mysterious basement flooding due to pump failure. Cats are nocturnal and thus happy to see me. Will post when awake soon, I promise.
